We chat with RenfieldMovie stars Nicolas Cage & nicholashoult about why script spoke to them and what inspired their versions of Renfield and Dracula respectively:
Renfield follows Dracula's long-suffering henchman who has loyally served the vampire for years. After meeting Rebecca Quincy, a traffic cop in modern-day New Orleans, he finds a new lease on life. Inspired to break free from his boss, he tries to make a life for himself and do the right thing instead of bloodying his hands on Dracula's behalf.
Nicolas Cage: It was a matter of cherry picking what's been done well in the past, seeing what I liked, and then extruding out from there. The lion's share of the channeling was my own father August Coppola. I thought he was a perfect model for Dracula. I mean that in the best possible way, it's not a put down, he just spoke in a very elegant, eloquent manner. Whenever he walked into the room he was always the smartest man in the room.
Mr. Cage, this is a dream role for you. I've read before that you've wanted to play Dracula for a while. Can you talk to me about when you first read this script? What spoke to you the most about this version of Dracula? Nicholas Hoult: Ryan Ridley did an amazing job with the script. It was very funny and charming. The most interesting thing was the regret of Renfield. As someone who's been charmed by Dracula and gone to work for him, but lost all of himself along that. So the regret was big. And for the comedy, this idea that he was always saying something that would lead people to understand that he was 100 years old, had been around for a long time, and then retracting those statements.
